When I was nine Philabe Houston offered me a grant for oil painting lessons and art supplies. I took lessons every Saturday at what is now Houstons Gardens. These lessons lasted about a year. I worked in oil, pastel and pencil for the next seven years. Watercolor interested me but every time I signed up for a class it was cancelled, for lack of interest.

In college I worked in acrylic for 2 years. Then ten years of working for the phone company and two children later in 1982 I signed up for my first lesson in watercolor. In 1989 Leanin' Tree accepted the first of 55 images that I would design for them.

I continued taking workshops with local and nationally known artists. I believe you never stop learning and I also believe that I've just begun to do my best work.
